• Notes

  There are many David Alter's during this time period. Presently assuming this one is the ancestor. I believe the name is correct based on family sources. It appears a David Alter was living in Philadelphia in 1855-56 and was the illegitimate father of Thomas David Alter. There are many possible scenarios depending on which David Alter was the father. I am am presently (2019) watching for an Alter DNA match to possibly determine the correct family line. Davd Ritner >>Samuel C >> David Alter m. Elizabeth Mell (Lancaster Co) David Alter MD (Civil War Surg, in medical school Philadelphia in 1856) David Alter c1835, son of Physician David Alter of Freeport, Armstrong County. Was he in Philadelphia 1855-56?
